Cohen never shamed me for how much I sampled. Never suggested I opt for a water or black coffee instead of the sugary drinks I opted for. Dax would have done all of those things and then suggested a walk after. Cohen? He led me to his car and started driving. His hands stayed on the wheel, and I couldn\u2019t help but take him in while his eyes were focused on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The ridges of his nose made me think it had been broken, and after hearing how he\u2019d grown up, I couldn\u2019t help but wonder how he\u2019d gotten it. My eyes traveled from his face to his hands to the speedometer. His car was so fancy that it felt like riding in a cloud despite going eighty miles an hour. I checked. He only drove five miles over the speed limit at any given time.<\/p>\n<p>I liked it\u2014like a small form of rebel- lion but also a sense of safety. But what surprised and delighted me more was our final destina- tion. He stopped in the parking lot of a new rainforest aviary outside of LA. My mouth fell open as I looked from him to the sign. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know this was open yet!\u201d \u201cIt isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He parked and pulled the keys. \u201cBut how?\u201d I asked, following him out of the car. His grin was tantalizing. \u201cI know a guy who likes to stay a little late at my bar sometimes.\u201d I shook my head at him in awe, then went back to staring at the building. All of the cranes and cones and big chain link fences were gone, but the parking lot was still nearly empty.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d been waiting to attend the opening all summer and fall. They hadn\u2019t announced a date yet, but it was set to launch sometime in December. \u201cI take it you\u2019re excited?\u201d he asked, smiling. \u201cYou have no idea. You know I\u2019m a Friend of the Aviary? I do- nate a hundred dollars every year on Ralphie\u2019s birthday.\u201d His smile didn\u2019t look as horrified as I might have guessed. Instead, it was encouraging. \u201cThat\u2019s awesome,\u201d he said. I nodded.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.

Love, Kelsie Hoss OceanofPDF.com 1 BIRDIE Confession: I don\u2019t have my life in order. Nothing made me happier than early morning pancakes with my best friend. Except for maybe seeing a U-Haul on the street. That had to mean Mrs. Cronckle was finally moving out to live with her daughter. With a smile on my face, I walked toward our townhome, ready to tell Dax we could say goodbye. No more senile neighbor who liked to comment on my weight, and no more of her creepy, winky cat.<\/p>\n<p>I took the few steps into our front door and pushed it open. \u201cDax! You\u2019re not going to&#8230;\u201d My heart stopped. And that had nothing to do with the pound of bacon Mara and I had just consumed. Suitcases filled the living room. Among the bags, stood my fianc\u00e9. Dax looked up from his phone, and very casually, slid it into his pocket. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d I asked, closing the door behind me, as though that simple latch would be enough to stop the inevitable from happening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not working out,\u201d he said flatly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
